CData Foundations 2026 Event

Agents are only as useful as the data they can reach.

The AI gateway gives them one governed, neutral path into every system you run, and it learns your business with every interaction. Built by the company whose data layer already runs inside hundreds of enterprise products, including Palantir and Google.

The AI gateway, from every angle

One day, six sessions: the case for the gateway, how it works, how it learns your business, what a CIO's rollout really looks like, and how to get started.

The AI Gateway Opportunity

Amit Sharma

CEO, CData

Raviv Levi

CPO, CData

Patterns in enterprise AI adoption, and where companies need the most help. Amit and Raviv open the day with where we think we can play a role. What we're building gives every agent one point of context and control, runs on live connections into your systems, and learns your business with every interaction.

Inside the Gateway

VP, AI Architecture, CData

A guided walk through the gateway: how agents reach your systems, how governance follows every request down to the record, where the cost controls live, and how it fits the stack you already run. Mike and Amit close with what it takes to get started.

The Context Engine

Your connections already know your systems: the fields, the relationships, the structure. The context engine learns what they mean. Nick shows how the gateway pairs each request with its intent, captures your definitions, and turns approved corrections into knowledge every agent reuses, so the second person to ask a question gets a better answer than the first, with context that stays yours no matter which model you run.

CData Labs: Testing the Gateway in the Open

Jerod Johnson

Director, Technology Evangelism, CData

Amit Naik

VP, AI Architecture, CData

Our open research program on how gateway design changes what AI can do: accuracy on enterprise questions, token efficiency, and how models behave across architectures. Jerod and Amit walk through the scenarios, the results so far, and where to find the harnesses, benchmark runners, and raw results so you can check our work.

We run on the gateway we're building. Jerod sits down with Arielle, Kade, and Elayna from marketing, finance, and business development: the work agents now take on alongside their teams, what changed day to day, and where each function goes as the platform takes on more.

The AI Gateway

One gateway between your agents and your enterprise

Every model call, tool call, and system action an agent takes, under your policies.

Interact with every system

Agents access and act across every system your enterprise runs, through one path.

Govern actions and costs

Decide what agents can access, do, and spend, down to the record, and see all of it in one place.

Learn from every interaction

The gateway pairs every request with its intent and keeps what it learns in one unified context: definitions, relationships, approved corrections.
